i thought not having morning skates was a torts trademark? afaik sullivan is not a fan of morning skates either and makes them strictly optional (since some players actually like them) and reporters have commented that it was a thing him and torts had in common

Jack Capuano looks like the kind of guy to go down to a Port Jeff bar around 6 and put a LOT of Billy Joel on the jukebox, hit on some just-out-of-college girls when they come in hours later and he's tanked, and just keep harrassing them because he has a high compete level and has a lot of grit.



So yeah, he's perfect for the island in that way.

as someone who goes to those port jeff bars to try and forget about jack capuano existing, this poo poo hit way too close to home

However I do not like Billy Joel or Brand New and that also disqualifies me from being accepted as a true long islander so at least I have that going for me over the guy from your post

He's been scratched all those games and isn't injured. Apparently he needs to work on skating and something else. The Yotes don't seem to be interested in sending him back to the OHL probably because he won't learn anymore there. Optimal situation would be the AHL which isn't an option but I still don't know why they would keep him off the ice completely.

The good news is after we trade Tanev away for somebody who's blown both his second and third chance to get back on track, we're only two years removed from replacing him with Rasmus Dahlin, the greatest defenseman of all time, coming to Vancouver and saving us all.

The Canucks have no cap space because Jim Benning is an idiot that signs bad hockeyers to worse contracts. Barring the Sedins going back in return or something equally retarded.

I'm at a concert tonight and I've seen that weird guy that owns The Continental and wears that rice paddy farmer's hat that the NY goons were railing on a few weeks ago, and a guy in a Rangers Callahan jersey.

I check the scores between sets and the Wings were already down 2-0 less than halfway into the first.

Not only is trading Hutton bad, but the Canucks are somehow spending to the loving cap. There's literally no cap room to do a 1-for-1. It'd have to be Hutton +

Good Soldier Svejk

Just looking at the state of the Canucks right now... even if they get rid of Benning and swap him for the hypothetical best GM in the world, it will take years to untangle that mess.
I mean Sbisa, Sutter, Gudbranson (you know Benning is gonna give him a MacDonald-esque contract even and especially if he gets poo poo-canned).. and the prospect pipeline is not particularly impressive, at least from an outsider's perspective.
The absolute best case scenario is that they can unload some of this dead-weight and maybe flip the last year of the Sedins for anything at all to start the rebuild.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

He's also been exchanging good on-ice performances for off days. Also, there was this in response to the "animal" comment about Ryan Reaves:

quote:

"This really caught me off-guard," Tortorella said. "Immediately after the game one of my PR guys came to me and brought up the subject, and it just knocked me down. My first thought was to reach out to Ryan, and I have done that. Because if I’ve put him in a situation where he even has to be asked questions about this or (be) talked about this way, it’s wrong."

Tortorella spoke with Reaves early this week. The two exchanged voice mails before finally connecting. Tortorella said he wanted to explain his comments, not apologize. "He said, 'You didn’t have to call me,'" Tortorella said. "I told him what was meant and he says, 'I know that.' We had a great conversation. We play them Saturday. I told him I hope we kick the hell out of the Blues on Saturday, but I hope he has a great rest of the year."
